ABSTRACT: Gold Coast City is a highly car-dependent city and, with its population growth and associated growth in motor vehicle usage, there is increasing traffic congestion and emissions of motor vehicle pollutants. This paper reports a modelling study of energy use and pollutant impacts from land transport sources for the City of the Gold Coast. It estimates, for 2011 and 2021, strategic level information on the environmental implications of current and future transport systems in the City. The modelling is based on the Griffith University TRAEMS model. TRAEMS uses the extensive data available on estimated flows on the transport networks to provide estimates of current and future transport energy use, transport pollution emissions, and the exposure of the City’s population to these emissions. TRAEMS has been designed to inform planners and decision makers of the current “State of the Environment” with respect to transport in the City, and of prospective ”States” for future decades. The system produces results that should be used to assist in strategic policy development for land use and transport, as well as pollution management, by providing good information of their influence on future environmental outcomes.
